Taming Fire Poem by Amber Piercy

Taming Fire

Prompt: The Lightning Dances In Her Eyes!

She has fire in her soul
It completely consumes her
The ticket will pay the toll
But only if your sure

She has a new beginning
She picks up the jagged pieces
Every good story has an ending
One that you don't want to miss

She becomes one with the fire
She endures the flames
The lightning will take her higher
The scorching heat she tames

She throws hatred into the water
As she douces out the embers
But the fire just burns hotter
Her pain it remembers

She knows where she is going
The flames know where she's been
This pile of ashes is growing
And she will ride it to the end
